Oliver came from a small town to the charming city of London to improve his life and financially support his mother, who had an accident months ago. There, he realized that his creative and investigative skills, which he hadn't fully used in his hometown, were much more valuable at the new newspaper, and he dove headfirst into a complex story. This story will demand so much of his abilities that, after countless extra hours, he starts interacting more with his boss, a man of few words and a dark, mysterious expression, hiding much in his past. Can he be trusted?
